Inorganic Zinc Coatings offer galvanic protection to the steel surfaces. The zinc coatings have a significant amount of metallic zinc dust mixed with the binder. The inorganic coatings have zinc silicate binder unlike organic zinc coatings, which uses organic resins such as butyl, epoxy or urethane. The inorganic zinc coatings exhibit good mechanical properties and impact resistance. Additionally, inorganic zinc coatings possess high heat resistance and radiation resistance. Inorganic zinc coatings are used in a wide range of high performance systems and as top coat in the maintenance and construction of bridges, tanks, pipeline, offshore and structural steel work. Inorganic zinc coatings provide excellent compatibility with other coatings such as silicones, acrylics and epoxies. The inorganic zinc coatings market is projected to remain opportunistic over the forecast period expanding at a moderate CAGR.

The inorganic zinc coatings are solvent resistant and can withstand high temperature. The inorganic zinc coatings do not chip, blister or peel off easily. Moreover, inorganic zinc coated materials are easier to weld and clean as compared to organic zinc coatings. The inorganic zinc coatings provide better resistance to corrosion as compared to organic zinc coatings.

Moreover, with the growing technological advancements in the automotive industry, there has been an increasing requirement for corrosion protection coatings for the automotive body parts.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization have led to growth in the infrastructural development. Along with that the necessity for corrosion protection of steel structures also arose, which led to increase in demand for inorganic zinc coatings.

Global Inorganic Zinc Coatings Market Restraints

The major challenge faced by global inorganic zinc coatings is, top coating with inorganic zinc coatings is more difficult as compared to other coatings on top surface due to the porous characteristic of the inorganic zinc primer. This may create pinholes, voids and bubbles on the topcoat. Moreover, inorganic zinc coatings are usually not preferable for underwater body.

The manufacturers are focusing on development of advanced inorganic zinc coatings that need not be applied a second coat. This will save process cost, handling cost, energy cost, etc. The manufacturers are using product innovation as a differentiating strategy to win an edge over the other market competitors.
